Title: New Battery required.
Post by: Agemo on 25 March 2012, 22:01:39

Looks like my battery is on the way out, so I priced one up at the stealers, £80!!! and that is TradeClub! I have the TD, so need a big 'un but the cost is making me think about other sources, I am sure they were nowhere near that price!  :o

No way! The last one I bought was more like £45/£50 You sure he didn't just fob you off re TC prices?  ???

He priced up the dearest, which was £80, said that was the battery fitted in the factory. I will check the TC website.

..... I will check the TC website.

I would if I could think of the password ......  ;) ;)

My local dealer has a few times tried to sell me TC parts at a price other than TC price, he's been a tad narked when I've f'cked him off & said I'll come back later when you've sorted out the price.  ::) ::)

Thanks for the tip Tony, but mine isn't even listed. I really want to go for an 85ah one if poss, and even Alpha prices are more than TD.

Just had a word with Halfrauds.
After 15 minutes trying to get the breakwit to understand what a vauxhall omega was, I got this info out of him  ::)

Vx Omega 2.5 TD battery    Part No  951012   £99.95 inc retail   with trade card    £66.89 inc   :y

It should be the same price at the Grimsby store if you want to pick it up yourself  :y
I will need to have a word with them over the phone to give them the card number and feed them some bullshit to why your picking it up  ;D ;D

Give a shout if I can help  :)

Thanks Tigers, but at the moment the car is poorly, I may even need a new ECU  :-\
If I do need a battery, I will get in touch, thanks for the help.
